A classic movie character was spotted in real-life with Queen Elizabeth II… sort of.

Twitter users noticed a Forrest Gump lookalike behind the Queen of England in a recent photo.

The Queen was making a surprise visit to Paddington Station in honor of a train line being named in her honor, when royal correspondent Valentine Low of The Times of London snapped a pic and tweeted about the event.

You can see the photo here:


In the picture, a man baring a striking resemblance to Tom Hank’s 1994 character can be seen peeking around the corner behind the Queen.

A Twitter user called SkillsMcGill was the first to notice the Gump cameo.

Here are their zoomed in shots:

Some of the most memorable parts of Forrest Gump are the scenes of Gump witnessing and getting caught in photographs and news reports of historical events.

Twitter users agreed Low’s picture would fit right into those scenes:








Meanwhile, others gushed—and joked—about the Queen's bright yellow outfit.






Huffpost spoke with the person behind the SkillsMcGill Twitter account and they had some nice words about their viral moment:

"[It] really is rather lovely to imagine being some way responsible for making many people smile, that seems quite important right now, more than ever."

We couldn't agree more!

White House Slammed After Replacing Obama Portrait With Painting Of Trump's Assassination Attempt

The White House is facing heavy criticism after it posted a video on X showing off a new painting of President Donald Trump's assassination attempt last summer—that is now hanging where an official portrait of former President Barack Obama was once displayed.

The portrait of Obama, unveiled in 2022 during former President Joe Biden’s administration, remains on display in the White House but has been relocated. Originally hung near the staircase to the presidential residence on the State Floor, it has been moved to the opposite wall—where a portrait of former President George W. Bush once hung.
